Chicken nugget Caesar salad

Caesar Salad With Crispy Chicken NuggetsStep up your Caesar salad by adding crispy chicken nuggets.

As if chicken nuggets weren't delicious enough on their own, just wait until you try them on top of a Caesar salad. These nuggets are simple and quick to make. But a word of warning, you'll need to make extra because they disappear quickly between the skillet and the serving plate. It happens every time. This salad makes a great meal and tastes wonderful with a big piece of garlic bread.
